    man , this video is concise and straight to it. Kudos man . earlier I used to taken down reminder/ pointers and save it on a sheet. now I can just save this. Big thank you , sir.
  • Perfect beginners video with out all the nonsense stuff. Thank you and now I need to go and get out with my EQ800.
  • I have had one for a year. All I have done is turn on and go and kicked butt. There is a heavy duty 30 amp power cord laying across an iron manhole cover. My old beloved detector would give me an O L reading. Overload. This one, the 800, would give me the iron grunt, beep and grunt perfectly as I swept fast across. Perfectly separated signal. Really fast recovery means fewer masked targets.

    Short, sweet, and to the point! One of the best tutorials I have yet to see. I bought my Equinox 800 on January 14th and have yet to take it out as the ground is frozen solid here in Southeast Idaho. In the meantime, I'm going to learn all I can from videos like yours.

    Just put my Nox800 together and charging the battery I am headed to the beach soon and really looking forward to my first beach treasure. Really appreciated your clear information Yada yada…thanks!
  • @MUDSWAT
    Thanks for the video I just got mine today. I already found a wheat in my yard. However, I've been a treasure hunter for 17 years. This yard has been done 100's of times by 3 machines. A Whites MXT, a Garette At Pro, and a Fisher. I was excited to find a wheat that the older machines missed. :face-purple-wide-eyes: Every machine will usually find something different and open those old sites up again. Thanks for sharing, happy hunting!
  • @AJ-wf9jm

  • @MsladyPearlz
    though I had some problem with sea water It also youtube.com/post/Ugkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrH… land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
  • Thanks for the video! I am buying one of these tomorrow and my first place I'm trying out is a friend's house that is an old 1800s railroad stop hotel
  • @andrewnewby1918
    Thanks for that. I’ve just brought the Nox800, so your video was very helpful. I’m just starting out metal detecting, mainly beach areas as I live near to the coast. All the best Andrew 😊
  • @tikijason
    Very straight forward and useful video, thank you! You earned my sub from SLC. Long-term detectorist, bought my Equinox 800 today. It’s my first expensive machine.
